Therapeutic approaches offered in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them and to take actions that align with their values; it is often used to address stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships that stem from early bonds and helps people understand and shift how they relate to others, which can improve intimacy, trust, and issues related to abandonment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and problematic habits.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Andrew approaches this as a collaborative process. He works with each person to explore which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques from these approaches as appropriate while respecting the client’s pace and priorities.
Online therapy with Andrew is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences. These options make it easier to access regular sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the client.
